This coming weekend is the Michigan QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River
Radio Club. Complete rules can be found on the MRRC web site
http://www.mrrc.net, but here are the basics:
Begins: 1600 UTC - 20 April 2002
Ends: 0400 UTC - 21 April 2002
A station can be worked once per band-mode (CW/SSB) on 80-10
meters. Non-MI stations work MI stations. MI stations work anyone. MI
mobile stations can be worked again when they change counties.
Exchange: MI stations send QSO number and county. Non-MI stations send QSO
number and state/province, or "DX" for non-W/VE.
Multipliers: Counted once per mode (CW/SSB). MI stations count MI counties
(83), states (49) and VE provinces (58). Non-MI stations count MI counties.
Classes: Single-op (high, low and QRP power), multi-operator and mobile
(100W only).
Logs should be submitted within 30 days to mqp@contesting.com or via postal
mail to: MRRC, c/o Dave Pruett, K8CC, 2727 Harris Road, Ypsilanti, MI 48198.
Contest configuration files for the MiQP are available for NA, TRLog and
WriteLog. A demo version of the NA Contest Logging Program which supports
MiQP and certain other state QSO parties is available for free from the
DATOM Engineering web site at http://www.datomonline.com.
Since the MiQP contest format and rules were streamlined in 1999, activity
has increased every year. For the past two years, all 83 MI counties were
on the air through a combination of mobiles and home stations. For 2002,
there will be least ten well-equipped mobile stations out roaming the MI
countryside. We'll publish a list of calls and the counties they plan to
activate tomorrow evening. Also, a number of club stations, including the
well-known W8SH at Michigan State University and perhaps W8YY at Michigan
Tech plan to be QRV.

Dave Pruett, K8CC

Guys, as you are successfully using it - can you give me an advice? I am
quite desperate already. I have WIN 98 and E-Dio SC4000 (ALS4000) SB Pro
compatible PCI soundcard - Win and DOS drivers installed.
I can start SBDVP and TR both in WIN or in MS-DOS but both ways allow me
only to play the example message under F10. I can not record. It creates an
empty file when I try to record with CTRL-F1. Maybe I have some conflict
between DOS and WIN soundcard dirvers, I don't know.
I can record sound files with Windows Sound Recorder though. Can I somehow
convert the WAV files into DVP files and record under Windows???
